The Marketplace Deal Calculator That Counts the Drive
WorthTheDrive calculates the real profit, maximum buy price, and break-even point for vehicle deals.
Field notes
The calculator models a vehicle flip as a trip-level ledger rather than a simple sale-minus-purchase equation. Inputs include round-trip distance and time, fuel price, EPA combined MPG, wear cost per mile, value of time, selling fees, tolls, and other costs. The page also supports saved vehicles and deal history, with vehicle MPG loaded from year, make, and model selections while remaining editable. It identifies itself as a free public beta and says private deal data stays on the device.
